semi-annual media list

[wilderabbit]

I been practically living at Greg's since Friday and have yet to write about the BIG STORM of 6/27 (oh, but I will!) but for now since I have it all prepared, here is the semi-annual list of things read, watched, etc. I've read a lot more than last year (albeit tons of mysteries and chick lit) and watched less movies though I'm not counting the 2 seasons of Survivor, 3 seasons of Lost and first season of Arrested Development. As of this week Greg has cxled Cox cable in favor of on-demand Netflix which has changed things up somewhat, hopefully for the better ($10/mo. vs. $65/mo). Also without which I wouldn't have seen the latter two rockumentaries so that's a bonus. He's intent on sharing so I've added a lot of my own picks to the queue. So without further adieu ...
